[TheBigtony1912]

[Kuuper111]

lol pause at 1:24 XD cheers to Uncle Ian :D

[Greatest1981]

One of my favourite Madness songs, largely because of Mr. Ian Dury. This song and video is like a family affair with the Nutty Boys and their Uncle Ian.

[rowanland]

I'd vote for him!

[davemfc1885]

Two music greats together total class



[Mr1974simo]

TIMELESS TUNE!!!!! X X X X X X X!

[TheAdammaka]

[Jeeves574]

Who plays the policeman at 0:44?

[QueenWillNeverDie]

@Jeeves574 I think that's Suggs himself, but I'm not completely sure.

[linoleum7000]

damn. who is Freddy?

[DrHooty911]

@linoleum7000 The late Ian Dury, now deceased.

[7869abc]

[Assimilierter]

[GuvnorConroy]

@Assimilierter

Dunno, but word has it he's related to Alice.

[Assimilierter]

Who the fuck is Freddy?

[madphilgreenballs]

What a brilliant combination! I missed Ian live when he came to NZ coz I was working that night, but saw Madness when they came. Love them both, and this combo makes my day, month, year. RIP Ian. You gave a hell of a lot of people a huge amount of joy.

[MrPhilAsheo]

What a colaboration, two of Britains greats!

[mbcloninger99]

woooww.. theyve gotten old : /

[PhilippaDMTW]

Madness are just unnaturally cool.

[EmptyBrooke]

Everytime I see Suggs turn and smile like that at 0:38, I can't help but smile

[rodrigoraulsuarez]

Great song and a wonderful vid too!

[irishshako]

[Greatest1981]

Absolutely one of my favourite Madness songs and videos this one. Ian, thanks a lot for the music and the laughs, God Bless Ya mate, may you rest in heavenly peace. See you on the other side, eh! Cheers!

[Bluesquidharry]

I was just thinking 'This is complete utter madness' then i remembered it's the name of the band. Best band name ever for the best band ever, long live the nutty boys.

[Leekduck]

IT WAS THE REVEREND!1!1!!1!!

[SeamusVideo]

more or less all of Madness' music videos are funny but weird! haha

[Maoszman]

[edwards21416]

[Flipperlikesdipper]

[benjaminroelfs]

[baz4111]

Totally under rated song from the Nutty boys, but one of my all time Favourite tracks of theirs. A nice tribute in its own way to the legend that was Ian Drury RIP;

[atavener]

Is Bedders the news reporter at 1:14?

[spaulding68]

[HarvsPenzance]

@01triggerthehorse

[Rawlinson18]

How could we, Ian was the inspiration. He lives on in our hearts and beyond.

[WhenIGrowUp45]

@Rawlinson18 SO TRUE!

[dfarmbrough]

@sfm1967 He will never be forgotten. The greatest lyricist of the 20th Century.

[TheListOfS]

1:24 LOLMAO

[hertssoulgirl]

Yep Mark's next job should be a reporter!

or he could always consider a Priesthood as his dad (my uncle) was an alter boy!

[777louis777]

This song is about a leader of a gang (fred) who is on his last legs so another hoodlum (ian dury) decides to kill him so he can take over.

[777louis777]

ha, johnny the horse at 3:57, awesome song.

VOTE FRED!

[Fabiocarton]

Does anyone there have the lyrics of this tune? I would really aprecciate if it be uploaded. Some parts are difficult to understand because of the english accent.

Thanx a lot.

[ydnalcfc]

We want Freddie for our leader

Freddie is a man of class

We want Freddie for our leader

All stand and raise your champagne glass

Gentlemen and assassins and ladies of the night

I call upon you this evening in the hope of shedding some light

I can't go into detail or finger unfounded fools

But there are some here amongst us that are not playing to the rules

[ydnalcfc]

I've rounded up the low-life and local CID

Offered a free massage or else the third degree

There is no simple solution in this life we lead

So make things easy for yourself to the baronage concede

We want Freddie for our leader

Freddie is a man of class

We want Freddie for our leader

All stand and raise your champagne glass

[ydnalcfc]

Peace shall not prevail in Purley came the stark warning today

From his hospital bed Drip-Fed Fred vowed he was here to stay

"I'll tell you something for nothing", he claimed, "Never in all my days

Have I felt so intimidated by the cheap tactics on display"

Ahh-ah-ah-ah

Ahh-ah-ah-ah

We want Freddie for our leader

Freddie is a man of class

We want Freddie for our leader

All stand and raise your champagne glass

[ydnalcfc]

And approaching the pulpit, the Right Honourable Reverend Greene

"We're gathered here this evening to pay our due respects

To Drip-Fed Fred who late last night fell out of his prison bed

We know the nonce behind it, who slipped the night PD - ooh

The word is out now without doubt you will answer to me"

[ydnalcfc]

Gentlemen and assassins and ladies of the night

I call upon you this evening in the hope of shedding new light

There is a simple solution, one called honour amongst thieves

So we'll take pity on your souls and only cap your knees

Ahh-ah-ah-ah

Ahh-ah-ah-

[ydnalcfc]

I hope that helps.

Keep listening to the Nutty boys, they should be around for a long time yet.

[dfarmbrough]

@Fabiocarton English accent - hahaha :-) yes the lyrics are on this page:

iandury dotcom, other lyrics. SOrry it's hard to put an address as Youtube's poor quality software seems to think there is an error if you post any URLs!

[HAYveku]

@Fabiocarton

[atavener]

MADNESS FOR A BRIT AWARD!!

watch?v=LFWlL6uvqg4

[delfinchandandy]

[WankityWank]

I heard the BBC banned this from Top of the Pops for something stupid.They thought it was a song about someone in the IRA?? Lol that cant be true.

[ydnalcfc]

I've not heard that b4

[charliez61]

I love them! They are still very funny and great! :P

[sinister066]

[chelseabornboy]

[ydnalcfc]

Would translate, but i can't find what 'lucieron' means in English.......

[zandybelle]

Guauuu! se lucieron los madness con este video nunca lo había visto ni tampoco escuchado la canción. Grandes como siempre.

[JinxMadness]

Love the video but I have also never heard of this one....

[devonlongbow]

Fantastic!! Didn't know this existed,so glad to see it.Whenever I see Madness or hear them it takes me right back to the Best time of my life.I hate getting old(it does have some good points I just havent found them yet!) but when I hear Madness I'm young again knocking about in Brixton with the lads.Cheers Madness and all the other ageing Nutty Boys.

[slacknhash]

Didn't even get into the Top 40. One of their best songs too. There's no justice.

[nuttyboy11]

'Wonderful' was such a great comeback album.... But after hearing 'NW5' and 'Norton Folgate' i think the next could be their best ever........ Long live the Nuttyboys.....NB11

[lougirl68]

love this video, great,,,

[weightforweight]

They should restrict this song it to addictive

[petshopboysupporter]

[Wormdei]

Brilliance. Sheer fucking brilliance.

[trafficlights1]

ok, i've heard ppl saying that americans do all the good music, but compared to this, americas shite lol

[ydnalcfc]

Dont know where you heard that,but I think you're 90% right

[vikreal]

english universe isnt the one and the only...

[petshopboysupporter]

ye bu england has most of the good acts n im irish so

[10514jp]

great music,great video,great band,r.i.p.ian dury.

[xalmon5]

Bedders hasn't changed for 25 years. His hair ditched in 1983 and you almost can't tell the dieffrence between Ghost Train clip's Bedders and this one's.

[RupertWaldron]

I love madness. One of the best bands to come out of Britain. I've seen them twice. Mark Bedford has aged badly unlike Dan Woodgate who hasn't aged a bit.

[ydnalcfc]

I don't think Bedders will want to hear that, although I think Woody will be pleased.

[CHOLEPOPER]

IAN WE MISSS YOU

[MayaScarlett]

Super album, super chanson, super clip, Madness mon groupe préféré.

[Lanceloth1975]

puffff!!! que bueno, una mezcla de madurez y mucho song!!!

[ydnalcfc]

Translation -

Puffff!!! that good, a mixture of maturity and a lot of song!!!

[mbishop65]

Great video this must have been on of Ian Durys last appearances he was a legend

[ydnalcfc]

I believe you are right.

[ska65mad]

Thanks to Madness. They're the pride of Brit music. I love them since i was 15... Now I'm 42 and I still surfing internet to watch them. Great, innit? Greetings from Italy to all the nutty fans!

[xrach1990x]

[xrach1990x]

[chunkus04]

awesome tune, we went to see madness last night at the O2 arena in london. excellent!!!!!!!!! shame they just played alot of there B side stuff!!

[dripfedgray]

Showes what you know. The only bside they played was bed and breakfast man. the ones you didnt know would be new ones and good ones at that. the band dosent just play old songs they still record you know.

[THESTAFFIECHANNEL]

I went last year and i enjoyed the B side stuff they did March of the Gherkins disappear and ON THE BEAT PETE! I NEVER THOUGHT ID HEAR that live.
